HLS Burn Scar Scenes

This dataset contains Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 imagery of burn scars and the associated masks for the years 2018-2021 over the contiguous United States. There are 804 512x512 scenes. Its primary purpose is for training geospatial machine learning models.Each tiff file contains a 512x512 pixel tiff file. Scenes contain six bands, and masks have one band. For satellite scenes, each band has already been converted to reflectance.Band OrderFor scenes: Channel, Name, HLS S30 Band number1, Blue, B022, Green, B033, Red, B044, NIR, B8A5, SW 1, B116, SW 2, B12Masks are a single band with values:1 = Burn scar0 = Not burned-1 = Missing dataClass DistributionBurn Scar - 11%Not burned - 88%No Data - 1%Data SplitsThe 804 files have been randomly split into training (2/3) and validation (1/3) directories, each containing the masks, scenes, and index files.Original dataset site can be found here.

Burn scars near the edges of HLS tiles are offset from the center.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(74, 85, 101);">Images were manually filtered for cloud cover and missing data to provide as clean a scene as possible, and burn scar presence was also manually verified.</span></p>
